3 Ups & 6 Downs From WWE NXT UK (6 May)

Downs...

6. Run It Back

If you missed SUBCULTURE’s promo from last week’s NXT UK, you need not worry, as essentially the exact same promo aired again on last night’s show.

Mark Andrews, Flash Morgan Webster, and Dani Luna spoke of how they’ve all had to get through a lot in life because of their lifestyles; Mark is a skater and musician, Flash is a mod, and Dani is a punk. This is all well and good, as it both builds decent character arcs for all three and provides good fodder for their future rivals to use in promos, but we heard it all literally last week. We didn’t need to hear it again. We needed to see a match.

Why NXT UK have waited until now to actually provide some proper character work for Andrews and Webster – former NXT UK Tag Team Champions, mind – is confusing. Surely you’d want to build upon them as early as possible, especially if they’ve been given a Monday Night Raw appearance vs. the Viking Raiders.

None of this makes sense.
